Product Description
The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Lapis bowl is a 120mm piece finished in a deep blue reactive glaze, sold in packs of twelve. It is part of Steelite's Aurora range, which applies reactive glazing techniques to produce natural variation in colour and contrast across each piece — meaning no two bowls are entirely identical, which is characteristic of this style of finish.
In a busy service environment, that variation works in the operator's favour rather than against it. Guests generally read the natural irregularity as a mark of quality rather than inconsistency, and the depth of the Lapis glaze holds its appearance well under the conditions of regular commercial use. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction is a practical choice for professional settings — it is harder and more chip-resistant than standard porcelain, which matters when pieces are being handled at volume during a full service.
From an operational standpoint, the Aurora range is designed to work alongside both the Revolution and Vesuvius ranges from Steelite, so operators who already have pieces from either collection can introduce Aurora without breaking the table aesthetic. This makes it a useful option when refreshing a course or building a more layered presentation across a menu.
- Suitable for starters, sides, desserts, and sharing plates
- Consistent sizing across the pack supports portion control and plating uniformity
- Compatible with existing Revolution and Vesuvius Steelite ranges
- Alumina vitrified ceramic handles the demands of regular commercial washing cycles
This bowl is well suited to restaurants, boutique hotels, and casual dining concepts where presentation matters and a distinctive glaze finish fits the room. If you are building a full table setting or matching across multiple courses, it is worth a conversation with us before ordering — we can help confirm compatibility and pack quantities across the Aurora range.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Reactive glazes are fired in a way that produces natural variation in tone and pattern — this is intentional and characteristic of the Aurora range. Within a pack of twelve, pieces will share the same base Lapis blue but will differ slightly in finish. In most dining settings this reads as a deliberate design choice rather than a quality issue, but it is worth bearing in mind if your concept requires absolute uniformity across the table.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-established material in commercial tableware precisely because it is harder and more durable than standard porcelain. It handles the mechanical stresses of busy service — stacking, dishwasher cycling, and regular handling — better than softer ceramics. For very high-volume operations with rapid turnaround, it is one of the more practical choices available.
- Yes — the Aurora range is designed to be backwards compatible with both the Steelite Revolution and Vesuvius ranges. This makes it straightforward to introduce Aurora pieces into an existing table setting without a wholesale change of tableware. If you are planning a mixed presentation across courses, it is worth discussing the specific pieces you already have so we can confirm the combination works as intended.
